Warm (8C) ....

23rd January 2023 (Monday)     09.00 .... the sky is heavily overcast and


there’s moderate breeze.... and the garden thermometer is at 8C;  it’s warm.    If the sun breaks through we’d have a really nice day!   I’m feeling friskier than I did yesterday;  almost playful in fact.   I have an appointment at the Adamson Hospital (Cupar)in the afternoon I am using the 'Lanchen Greig'.... and Alan is picking me up at 14.30.    Slight ‘flap on’ now.... I’m hungry.

12.00    The sun is trying hard to break through:  I know this because I’ve been to the shops and the harbour.   It is pleasantly warm (for the time of year);  even at the harbour.   There’s hardly any wind so nae wind chill.    I took  a few photos and thought about going to the lighthouse then remembered I have an appointment this afternoon.  I am easily sidetracked.


18.30    The Adamson Hospital was really busy this afternoon;  the busiest that both Alan and I have ever seen it.  They were short staffed and had three clinics going;  luckily for me the one I was attending (Phlebotomy) was the quietest of the three and I was out of the hospital 5 minutes before my appointed time.   Alan didn’t have to wait long and we soon on our way home.   The Cupar road has its share o’ potholes:  however we got home without mishap.... but you have to be watchful.

 

21.30    Apart from Alan driving me to Cupar I’ve had a quiet day.   I enjoyed chatting and catching up with his news so the journey passed quickly. 

 Derek (my brother) came down to pick up a clock that John repaired, when Emily and John were here at the end of December.  And that was my afternoon.    Since then I have had dinner and generally been lazy:  in fact I’m tired now as I didn’t have an afternoon nap.  

The weather forecast is good for the next couple of days.  I’m going to Leven tomorrow


morning.... where I’ll have a  cuppa at Alice’s  then we’ll do some shopping in Leven.   The car is going for a service on Wednesday so I’ll go out on the bike then .... it is supposed to be sunny and warm.

6th October 2024 (Sunday)    "Happy Golden Wedding Anniversary"  to Brian and Moira". 09.00 .... All the Fife Weather cams are showing overcast skies.   The Anstruther cam looks the bleakest!..... the Lochgelly the least bleak.  The Easterly breeze has brought the weather in from the North Sea.... and  'sunny spells' are not mentioned in the weather forecast, but ... sometimes the sky looks promising!   It's a good day to be inside.  Luckily I, (and all the other guests), are celebrating Brian and Moira's Golden Wedding Anniversary in the Lindsay Room at Kinneuchar Castle. 10.30     It's still raining, but the sky looks promising now and again;  the sun might break though in the afternoon.  I had a walk round the patio in the light rain; very refreshing.    I'm having morrrrrrrrrrrning coffee before I start to get organised for Kinneuchar Castle. 20.30    We had a really pleasant family and friends gathering to celebrate Brian and Moira's Gol

16th August 2024 (Friday)  08.30 ...It's a lovely morning but a layer of thin cloud is taking the Jackie. edge off the temperature so we have a chilly start to the day;  hopefully the sun will burn off the cloud to give us a sunny and warm(er) day soon.    The Auchnagatt 'troops' are expected to arrive about 10.30:  and I am organised .... and looking forward to seeing Jackie, Hazel, Catriona and Iain in one photograph.... a rare occurrence nowadays!  20.30 .... I got the photograph that I wanted... all four (soon to be five) of the Lawrie Family of 'Backhill of Inkhorn' (Auchnagatt) in one place!   It has been a most enjoyable day.  We had lunch at the very popular Cupar Garden Centre Restaurant (it was busy) followed by a browse round the garden centre:  the 'troops' did proper browsing:  I had quick browse followed by a catnap in the car.   The middle of the afternoon is my siesta time; and especially so after a good lunch!   And it was a really good lun

18th April 2024 (Thursday)    08.00 .... The Fife Weather cams are all showing an overcast sky:  rain hasn't reached Fife so far, but is expected to arrive by mid morrrrrrrning...."light rain and a fresh Westerly breeze" being the forecast until later in the afternoon;  but we're going to end the day with a bonnie evening.  Hmmmmm .... I don't think I'll be painting any bits of the shed today; and that was my project to take my mind off the car.   Computer stuff it will have to be:  I'm actually in a writing mood so this might not be a wasted day. 09.00   Forget the heap oops... car (it's in the 'bad car' corner);  I'm excited because the workmen are here to begin work on the patio. They arrived a wee while ago;  unfortunately spits and spots o' rain arrived at the same time and, if  the rain is heavy and prolonged they won't be able to do much.   Showers are OK but not prolonged rain.  Must 'go' got to have another cuppa
